How to become an architect
The stream to pick after Class 10, the entrance exams, and the route from school to architect.
IN SHORT
Architects in India complete a five-year B.Arch and register with the Council of Architecture. Admission needs physics, chemistry and maths in Class 12 and a score in NATA (for most colleges) or JEE Main Paper 2 (for NITs and some others).

Start in school
Both tests check drawing and spatial ability. Sketch regularly from Class 11 — buildings, objects, perspective — and the aptitude section becomes natural.
Questions parents ask
